Abstract: The profile of a Chief Operating Officer (COO) mostly defines the role of the manager responsible for daily business operations, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). For service companies or institutions with no industrial production but instead a high ratio of hospitality aspects, no adequate profile in terms of leading support processes has so far been discussed on a broad level. The setup of the Service Allocation Model for Non-Medical Support Services in Hospitals (LemoS) has revealed that the coordination of resources and data between the different FM areas defined in the norm SN EN 15221-4 (2011) means a new discipline and role, by means of which FM will be able to prove its importance in controlling and developing service companies. For this purpose, LemoS was adapted to general service companies such as airports, ground transportation companies, hotels, food service providers, event management businesses, safety & security providers, logistics & procurement firms and postal services, where FM plays an even more important role than the classical management support services. The result is the Service Allocation Model for Service Companies (SAMoS). On this basis, the differences between the tasks of Chief Operating Officers (COOs) and Chief Facility Managing Officers (CFMOs) can be discussed systematically, as well as the (future) profile and role of the latter.
